This focus on technological change does chime with the second season of The Crown, and some viewers think that this mention of technology means that the monarch has been watching the Netflix show in her spare time.

One said: ‘Did the Queen’s speech just reference The Crown?! Amazing!’

Vanessa Kirby, who plays the role of Princess Margaret in the TV show, said last month: ‘We did hear from someone that the Queen had watched it – which is so scary.

Today we watched the first two episodes of The Crown season 2, where the Queen gave her first Christmas speech 60 years ago. Then we watched the real Queen give her actual speech & were delighted when she copied her younger version on the Netflix series! Clever, clever.
